But there are rational, mature, secure, capable women who DO object.
Therefore YOU are obviously missing something.  You and others refuse to
accept this and insist upon attributing irrationality, immaturity,
insecurity, and/or ineptitude to all such women out of your own arrogance and
ignorance.  Why can't you simply accept the fact that you are incorrect in
the face of claims by women that they object to the term and try to gain
deeper understanding, instead of indulging in ad hominem attacks against such
women?
